“New Dad Baby Hacks: A Contemporary Guide For Dads, Strategies For The 1st Year That Every First Time Father Needs” is an approachable, practical handbook that breaks down the often overwhelming first year of fatherhood into manageable, actionable “hacks.” The author, William Harding, draws from his own experience as a proud father of three and positions himself as a seasoned companion on the parenting journey. He presents strategies for everything from soothing and feeding newborns to establishing routines, nurturing development, and handling the inevitable fatigue that comes with caring for an infant.

Harding’s authority on the subject stems not only from firsthand experience but also from his role as founder of The DADS CLUB—a global community that supports men as they transition into fatherhood. His books in the “New Dad Hacks” series, including pregnancy and toddler editions, have resonated widely. They blend a lighthearted tone with real-world insight, earning praise for being both entertaining and useful.

The book operates in present tense: it is framing scenarios as they unfold now, guiding fathers step by step from the first 24 hours home through the child’s first birthday. It highlights simple yet clever methods—like using white noise machines, muffin tins for feeding, and impromptu outdoor baths—that make care routines smoother and less stressful. It emphasizes bonding with baby while also keeping the relationship with one’s partner strong, offering tips on communication, shared responsibilities, and financial planning.

At around 125 pages, this guide zeroes in on essentials without the fluff. It offers worksheets, checklists, and bite‑sized nuggets of wisdom designed for busy dads who need clarity and confidence. Presenting both humor and sound counsel, Harding’s guide is positioned as essential reading for any dad eager to embrace fatherhood fully, support their partner, and raise a happy, healthy baby in the first year.
